BIG NEWS: GREEN JACK JUST GOT A WHOLE LOT BIGGER!

When you create something special—something that truly resonates—people take notice. What started as a passion project, a celebration of storytelling, and a dream to bring incredible films to our mountain town has now grown into something even bigger.

We are beyond thrilled to announce that the Green Jack International Film Festival is evolving into the BIG BEAR INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL!

With this new partnership and expansion, we’re taking everything you love about the festival—the amazing films, the unforgettable experiences, the sense of community, and the celebration of creativity—and making it even bigger and better.

This is proof that when you pour your heart into something, it can grow beyond your wildest expectations. What started as an independent festival has now become Big Bear’s premier cinematic event, backed by a powerful collaboration with the city of Big Bear Lake, our investors, partners, sponsors, collaborators and dedicated supporters.

Stay tuned, because BBIFF 2025 is going to be an unparalleled experience for filmmakers, film lovers, and storytellers alike.

Thank you for being part of this journey—we can’t wait to see where this next chapter takes us!

Big Bear, Big Films, Big Dreams.
